In 1988, Aletta and Peter Stas founded Frederique Constant, a
manufacturer based in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, that develops
exceptional and affordable wristwatches. This book, presented in
intimate interview form, reflects the passion and vision of the
company's founders. Read about this family-run business, quite
young compared to most Genevan brands, and peruse the timepieces
that have contributed to its rapid rate of success. Their
philosophy, from the very beginning, has been to reach out to a
broader class of enthusiasts who want exquisite, timeless, and yet
classical watches at sensible prices. Also browse gorgeous images
and personal analyses of the high-end complications in the Ateliers
deMonaco line, inluding Minute-Repeater, Perpetual Calendar, and
various tourbillons, which Peter co-founded in 2009. In 2002 he and
Aletta acquired Alpina, the 130-year-old, trusted sports watch
manufacturer, also featured and thoroughly examined by model in
this volume.
This brief examines the ways in which sociocultural characteristics
and contexts intersect to create varying dimensions of social
advantage and inequality that, in turn, affect and organize
professional relationships in educational and therapeutic settings.
It explores how inherently hierarchical relationships develop
within educational and university contexts, including between
professors and students, supervisors and supervisees, clinicians
and clients, and administrators and faculty members. The volume
addresses how participants' social locations inform their roles and
actions and how they can hold positions of power while also
embodying a marginalized identities.In addition, the book draws on
perspectives of persons marginalized or privileged based on their
race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and/or gender to examine how
social location impacts their work as family therapy clinicians,
supervisors, instructors, and administrators. Grounded in
individual reflection and detailed experiences, each chapter
describes rich personal narrative on how the individual therapist's
intersecting social locations influence his/her professional
relationships. This book highlights the need for family therapists
to identify their social location characteristics, evaluate the
impact of their social location on their professional
relationships, and process the role social location has on their
academic, supervisory and clinical position. This volume is an
essential resource for clinicians and practitioners, researchers
and professors, and graduate students in family studies, clinical
psychology, and public health as well as all interrelated
disciplines.
